Well gentlemen thank you for your comments here. For Downunder Bob, now were talking about one of the old "plumbers torch" what I refered to them as a "blow torch". I just happen to have three of those antiques sitting on a shelf in my shop. I'll get one out and see how much trouble it would be to remove the burner and extend it away from the tank and pump. That would be a slick set up, cheap to use and small and would fit into the "trunk" of this little car. I'll work on that idea too and post pictures.
No gr8legs, I won't be making the big Brooks show this year. But that would be fun place to show it as they have a nice parade of all the tractors and steam equipment. On the video, Yes I have to do that too. The few times I have driven the car I always thought how cool it would be to get a video. But I'm always driving the car and can't film myself. But then next time I have it out I'll take a video of it steamed up, the fire going and the engine turning. I'll post a youtube link for that but that is a great idea.
.
Here is a picture of the boiler with a fire in it but I know you want to hear the whistle and see the smoke and steam. Next time I get the car out and fire it up I promise video.
Thanks again for the suggestions and tomorrow I will get that blow torch out and see what I can do with that. Very interesting idea.
Best regards,
Lisa
